It seems I have no choice but to go to Hell's Slaughter Field.
Ye Feng's eyes were full of determined resolve as he looked at the guide.
"Then take me to the Slaughter Arena,"
Ye Feng said at that moment.
"Are you sure!?"
the guide asked Ye Feng.
Seeing the guide's smirking expression, he must know some unspeakable secrets.
He even felt that this young man must be deliberately seeking his own death by coming here.
"Of course, I am very sure,"
Ye Feng said without any hesitation.
He was very certain that he wanted to go to Slaughter City's competition site.
"Alright then, follow me,"
said the guide as he led Ye Feng in the direction of Inside Slaughter City.
Currently, they were still Outside Slaughter City.
Moreover, wherever they went, they could see the losers of Slaughter City wandering around the outskirts.
But there were also groups of ruffians bullying the weak!
Ye Feng could not stand to watch, so he decided to go ahead and take a look.
How could they bully honest people!
And to dare bully the weak right in front of him.
Soon, Ye Feng approached a corner of the alley.
He saw that about a dozen people were gathered ahead.
There was a weakling kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
He didn't want to die aimlessly Outside Slaughter City.
It wasn't worth it.
Unfortunately, the weakling still couldn't escape the cruel killing by the ruffians.
He didn't even have a second to struggle before he was gone.
After seeing this, Ye Feng felt incredulously that he hadn't expected the ruffians to be so formidable!
"Are they as formidable as me?"
Ye Feng thought, his face full of puzzled contemplation.
Suddenly, a woman's figure emerged from the crowd.
Hulena.
It had been a long time since he had seen this woman.
Ever since she was defeated by Ye Feng in the grand tournament of the Continent's high-level elites, they had not seen each other for quite some time.
He certainly hadn't expected to run into her Outside Slaughter City.
Quite fateful indeed.
But looking at Hulena, she seemed like a changed person, with the once present charm gone and replaced by an aura of intense killing intent.
Such powerful killing intent!
Hulena slowly approached Ye Feng.
Suddenly, a mysterious man appeared from the corner, secretly observing Ye Feng and the others.
Hulena noticed him right away.
At that moment, Ye Feng had not realized that someone in the shadows of the corner walls was attempting a sneak attack.
This woman was quite observant.
"Hiss—"
At that moment, Hulena's Hidden Weapon Treasure Blade was swiftly directed towards Ye Feng!
It was an extremely sharp blade.
The blade flew with incredible speed straight towards Ye Feng's front.
Ye Feng noticed just in time.
The blade was attacking him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to dodge the attack.
The razor-sharp blade swept by, just missing his hair, as Ye Feng leaned to one side, and the blade flew past him.
"???"
This left Ye Feng completely baffled.
Why start a fight upon meeting?
It was a close call but without actual danger.
The hidden assailant was not so fortunate and was struck down.
Because of the speed,
plus the force and velocity of the blade, it violently penetrated the attacker's head.
Blood sprayed out.
The person was gone instantly.
Only then did Ye Feng realize that Hulena was not attacking him but saving him!
Hulena was actually rescuing me.
How bizarre.
Hadn't she always harbored a grudge against me?
She even put on an act of playing the good Samaritan to the end.
This woman was too good at pretending!
Ye Feng thought to himself.
```
Hulena walked right up to Ye Feng.
"You must be new here,"
Hulena inquired at that moment.
Unexpectedly, Hulena could not recognize that it was Ye Feng himself.
It was no wonder she had kindly saved him just before; otherwise, a sneak attack from the people behind could have caught him. He wouldn't have died, but he couldn't have avoided being injured.
Reflecting on it, Ye Feng had overthought the situation.
He had wondered when Hulena had become so friendly towards him.
Was it possible that their previous encounters were all but forgotten!
It seemed to be a misunderstanding.
Stay alert.
The main reason was that Ye Feng was wearing a mask, which prevented Hulena from recognizing the person she loathed the most standing right in front of her.
She was completely unaware.
"Thank you for saving me,"
Ye Feng said to her.
Words of gratitude still needed to be expressed.
Because he didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
He was still capable of uttering a word of thanks.
"You don't look like one of The Fallen Ones. This place is very dangerous, so you'd better be extra careful,"
Hulena told Ye Feng.
With that, Hulena walked away.
If she had discovered that the person she had been speaking with was Ye Feng, she might very well have killed him on the spot instead of saving him!
"It looks like you're a newcomer who doesn't need my protection, but I advise you to stay away from that woman,"
the guide said to him.
This guide was quite kind-hearted, advising Ye Feng to avoid dealing with Hulena!
Even she could see that Hulena was a cold-hearted and vicious woman!
"Why should I be wary of her?"
Ye Feng purposefully asked.
In reality, Ye Feng already knew what kind of person Hulena was.
He didn't need anyone else to tell him.
"She has been in Slaughter City for a year now but ranks sixteenth in the Hell Slaughter Arena, a record good enough to be in the top hundred,"
the guide spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng realized that Hulena was only in the top hundred!
The corners of his mouth curled slightly upward.
If it were him, he wouldn't just be in the top dozen. The top few wouldn't be a problem!
After all, he had fought Hulena and knew how strong she was.
He believed his own ability would be tens of thousands of times better than Hulena's performance!
But he couldn't appear too obviously capable.
Keeping a low profile was better.
"Sixteen consecutive victories to be ranked in the top hundred!"
Ye Feng spoke out.
He considered it quite simple.
"Do you think the fights in Hell's Slaughter Field are the same as most of the battles in the grand soul fighting arenas outside? Maintaining a record of sixteen wins is quite impressive,"
One might even say quite terrifying.
"Oh, I see, that's how it is. I've learned something new,"
Ye Feng said with a polite demeanor.
"Well, then let's continue on. The Hell Slaughter Arena is just ahead,"
Following that, Ye Feng and the guide continued to walk forward.
The Hell Slaughter Arena was about one kilometer away.
They quickly walked through the gates of the Slaughter Arena.
Even from outside the gates, they could hear the lively noise from within.
The guide first took Ye Feng to watch the competitors who were currently fighting.
Watching those on the platform immerse themselves in the battle.
Full of the spirit of combat.
Ye Feng's eyes sparkled.
It had been quite a while since he had last fought a battle!
This time, his mission was to covertly defeat all the competitors in the Hell Slaughter Area.
The championship was his to claim!
Afterward, Ye Feng approached a counter.
He took out a tag from his hand.
This was a handbell tag he had acquired in a fight with the Terror Knight Koster outside Slaughter City.
He placed the tag on the counter.
"I want to register,"
Upon seeing the tag, the front desk lady immediately processed his paperwork.
Now Ye Feng could participate in the competition.
